K-Rino - Old and New lyrics

There's an interesting dynamic
Starting to develop
Old rapper, new rapper, old rapper
New rapper yeah, let's see what's going on
Old rapper, new rapper, haha
Boys tripping out here
Tell y'all the difference listen!

New rappers pop tags, new rappers got swag
Old rapper heard a new rapper
Spitting and got mad
Old rapper said that the new
Rapper should not brag
On jewelry and cash and what
They consider hot trash
Youngster said, "Whatever you
Old rappers did, we shot past
1998 was the year that
Your product dropped last" old rapper said
"But we got skills that y'all cannot grasp
We did it for years
After two albums y'all flop fast"
The young man said, "You jealous
Of what they pay me, bro
You're whole career's money can't compare to
What I make at shows"
Old rapper shook his head and said, "yeah
Maybe so buy y'all can never do it like
We did it back in '84
See most of y'all are just a passing phase"
The new rapper laughed and said
"flip 84 around fool, that's your age
Now you say we arrogant but
That was kind of funny
You working at Khans and I'm
Making all kinds of money"

Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads
Old rapper
New rapper need to clique up instead
Old rapper, new rapper
Yeah that's what I said
Instead of tripping on who better
Why don't we all just get this bread?

The OG said, "Laugh all you want but
Young man you're wrong
The nerve of you to disrespect
The foundation you standing on
Being humble while your strong
Is what I'm recommending
No one who blew up ever
Pictured their run ever ending
You doing shows worldwide and
Your record's spinning but the game is long
Don't get kicked out in the second inning
Longevity I got is what you wanna get"
New rapper said, "yeah
My Daddy used to jam you on cassette
But all jokes aside
Something that you should consider
When y'all are no loner relevant
Y'all start acting bitter
There's lots of older rappers eating
I can name plenty of names
Instead of hating on our fame won't
You give me some game?
And I can give you game
'cause you need understanding now
We selling digital unit's
Merchandise and branding now
And some of us are disrespectful
But so are y'all" old rapper said, "yeah
Pride come before a fall"

Old rapper, new rapper steady bumping heads
Old rapper
New rapper need to clique up instead
Old rapper, new rapper
Yeah that's what I said
Instead of tripping on who better
Why don't we all just get this bread?

It's hard for old school artists
To breathe in these climates
They wish that they was part
Of rap's current economics
Instead of grinding they stay
Confined in making comments
About how this generation refuse
To pay them homage
Youngsters in the game wanna see
Their name with greats
But old rappers and new rappers
Make the same mistakes
If you real, you last forever
Time can't erase
The labels drained us all but
We never blame the snakes
We see the same reflection
Just looking in different mirrors
We walk the same roads
Just did it in different eras
The new rappers say they
Hate on our accomplishments
The old rappers say the
New lacking in consciousness
Working with each other ought to
Be what the mission is
We can agree to disagree on our differences
Young G
I know you're hungry and you're feisty
But never criticize something that one
Day you might be
